TO\\"N ELECTION.
Our annual Town Election took place on
Monday last. Voting by ballot for Select men,
Clerk, Treasurer, and Collector. was for the
tlrst time rnxortml in. But little feeling or ex-
citement was manifested by either party. and
the vote was consequently small. The \Vhigs
elected all their candidates for tl:c.abovc offices
by tmljoritiels ranging from 100 to 125, as follows:

—Our discussion with the Bridgeport Farmer‘
has not been altogether fruitless, as it has served
to draw from the Editor of that paper the rcluc-‘
taut admission that he is in favor ofa protective
tariff. Nay more— He warmly commends the,-.
tariff of'46 to public favor, because it furnishes,
better protection to some bran(:hes'0f American '
manufactures, than was afforded by the

surprise and that. we may not be accused of uns— ,

lrics of all_j_kinds, silks, linens, manufactures of
hemp, flanncls, blankets, needles, the duties

in few articles which are in reality protected by
fa duty of :30 per cent. , _
I \Ve still confess our inability to understand
the object ofthe Farnmr in this discu.<sion.-—-

the cherished olijcct. of Southern ilocofocoisml
was accomplished by the repeal of the tariff of:
-‘~42. The present tariff, uncalled for by any ;
public necessity, and opposed, resisted and pro-
tested against by all the true friends of prot_ec- ‘
tion in the Union, was fastened upon the country ;
by the power of party discipline and executive I
dictation. The passage of the bill through Con-
gress was trumpeted forth at the South as a t.ri-
umph of free trade. The free traders of the‘
North pointed to the success of. the measure as
an evidence ofthe progress of their prmciples.l,
It was every where, abroad and at home, regar-
(led us a victory of free trade over protection.
But itnovv seems that we were all wrongs
Such was not the character of the measure, it'_
we are to credit the Farmer. It was not de-
signed to diminish protection. The four vearsf
warfare carried on by the Locofocos against the '
tariff of’42 arose from the very patriotic desire ,
of giving more adequate protection to American
manufactures !
shoe makers, and other mechanics that the ta-
riff of ’42 was repealed, and that of '46 enacted !
True, thou men did not ask for any change, they
remonstratod against; it, but Locofocoism saw
tbatthey could not prosper under thefree trade
policy of '42, and therefore passed for their spe-
cial benefit the highly protective tarlf of ’-46!
How dare even a Locofoco Editor thus to trifle
with the truth?
The design of the ta,rif’f of ’4G was to diminish
the rate of duties. Thcreis scarcely an article of
American manufacture which is as well protoc-
ted now as it was under the tariff of ’42. On
iron, coal, cotton fabrics, woolen goods and the
other principal manufactures of this country
there was a great and radical reduction in the
rate of duties. Even the case put by the Edit-
or of the Farmer does not maintain his position.
Under the tariff act of '42 the duty on men’s
shoes was 50 cents per pair, on boots arid boot-
tes $1 25 per pair, while now the duty IS 30 per
cent. This 30 pet‘ cent duty is charged upon
the f0!'eign.cost, and in the case of boots will not
amoubt to $1 25 per pair. On shoes it is probt
able that the rate will be nearly the same HOW
as it was under the other tariff.‘ On fur hats 35
per cent duty was imposed by the tariff of '42.
now the duty is 30 per cent ; on silk hats 531,"
now 25 per cent. We leave it for our readers

same means were used as before, ithey were
both revived and made comfortable.
Both boats were then sent in pursuit. of more‘
bodies, while the Delaware was made fast to; .
the wreck and succeeded in towing her to Sbe- l
boygan, where she sunk in eight feet water.——-l
Soou after the arrival ofthe \ 'reck at Shcboygan,
the boats came up—ono with five dead bodies,
and the other with baggage land furniture.
At this time one of the Pho3nix’s boats came}
up from the shore where the t.wo boats had gone ,
from the burning vessel, taking with them 42:
ofthe crew and pssscngers, The boat that now‘
came up, contained the captain very ill, and the
first mate. together with some of the crew——the
passengers being left on the beach about 12
miles below. From the clerk, Mr. Donohue, it
was learned that. there were on board 175 Hol-
landers, large and small, and about 100 other
passengers, and of the crew, making in all
300 persons—45 in all saved, 255 lost.
The D0lfl\V.ll'@ soon left on her downward
‘passage, and in passing in the track where the
i
fburniug vessel was found, fell in with many
‘floating bodies. to the number of about 100.——
; Some oftbem were standing upright in the wa-
'ter, some of the women were lying on their
fsides. somo——the children genera|ly—on their
ffaces. Some of the passengers were in full
ldress, some in undress, and others entirely na-
I ked—all with their heads to the northward.
They were within four miles of the land, and
' the wind was fast drifting thcm ashore, so it was
not deemed advisable to pick them up, as plenty
{of boats had been sent from Sheboygan for that
lpurpose, sud all not picked up by the boats
would drift ashore by the following morning.
The large sale of Brown’s Sarsaparilla and To-
mato Bitters, is another pmofof its efficacy. It is
now about three years since it was first offered to
lhe public. although it. has been used by one of the
most distinguished physicians for many years in pri-

creastd, and it has been sent for from all parts oflbe
country, where it was never advertised, but recom-
mended by persons who have used it. It has been
shipped to foreign ports, and found ready sale: that
alone would seem to be proofenough of its utility.
How many medicines there are advertised that
